Dear Edmund:

I notice things, even though my sight isn't great, last English presentation we were even more nervous, when you talked about basketball and I talked about deforestation.

I had an anxiety attack in the bathroom after it, splashing my face with water and shaking, when I came back you were next, and your voice while you presented was the thing that calmed me down.

And I noticed, that you were more nervous than I thought, I noticed when you started rubbing your left wrist nervously, that's your tell, you rub your wrist.

And I noticed your right hand was shaking, and you glanced around the room, but you kept talking, you started stuttering and then your eyes set on me.

I noticed when you took a deep breath, and I noticed that when you kept talking, you didn't stutter, and your left wrist was red, but you had let go.
